What the fark is a rod supposed to be anyway? Gee that makes SO MUCH farkING SENSE! Since you know, OBJECT SHAPES are always found FLYING AROUND. OMG I looked up yesterday and found a SPHERE! Holy shiat! A SPHERE! SPHERES ARE ALIVE MAN!

No, sorry, it's a farking bug.

My favorite bit is that they say on that page that the object is METALLIC. Well, they obviously know everything about that! It's metallic, they're sure of it!

It's the RODS, the RODS! Ya see, if you have your vid-ee-oh camera set up just right, the right frames per secand and all, ya can get a cool video of a bird or a flying insect...er...no I mean a ROD! Yeah that's it, a ROD! And the darn government NEVER admits that they can pick these things up on radar either!It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

Could just be the freaking space station, although I'm not sure what latitude it is currently visible from. otherwise its probably some secret government satelite, assuming it isn't just a bug.

BTW how did this article get through the submission queue when the article linked on that page about the guy who tortured a cat and ate its tail because it "misplaced his keys" didn't get through the queue, at least that article is interesting

I bet its a secret government spy plane with a sophisticated cloaking device used to photograph our personal lives and map our habits, all in preparation for the upcoming 1984-like regime dedicated to preventing deviant thought through threats, clever propaganda and mass manipulation of the media after the "war on terrorism" creates the necessary air of "perpetual war," to cause enough love for your country that you fail to see what's really going on.

Whoa. I need to go home and have a martini, or something. Sorry 'bout that guys...

OK Art Bell has been talking about flying rods seen only on videotapes for about 5 years now. His site www.artbell.com has pages and pages of the things and they look just like this one. No one knows what they are, but the theories abound and often suggest using tinfoil hats as protection from the rods.
